Podcasting in Learning and Teaching: a one day workshop held at Sheffield Hallam University
About the workshop:
The recent explosion in the popularity of podcasting provides exciting new possibilities for the development and delivery of learning resources. As well as placing a renewed focus on the use of audio as a medium for learning and teaching, it offers great flexibility in how learning resources can be created and used by staff and students alike, offering new opportunities for independent study and creativity within the curriculum.
This timely workshop will provide an overview of podcasting and related technologies, examining how the technologies can be used in a range of learning and teaching contexts, as well as providing hands on training in the production of podcasts, using the freely available Audacity software.
The workshop will cover the following topics:
Exploration of educational podcasting and related technologies, including RSS subscription, screencasting and video podcasting;
Discussion and examples of how these can be used to enhance learning and teaching;
Demonstration and hands on training in producing and distributing podcasts.
Expected outcomes:
By the end of the session, delegates will have an understanding of what podcasts are and why they should use them. They will also be able to create their own simple podcast using free software on a PC (Audacity), and upload it to the web.
Who should attend?
This workshop should be of interest to anyone wishing to familiarise themselves with podcasting technologies, and how they can be used in learning and teaching, particularly those in Further and Higher Education.
